Peaceful quinta life with city on the doorstep

We had an absolutely lovely time, exploring the whole island with a really homely place to stay. The Magnolia Park with its wonderful restaurant directly opposite was a real treat too. The hosts are welcoming and friendly

Lovely cottage in a working banana plantation. Good area close to all amenities and several good restaurants. Property is gated so safe and quiet. Good communications from owners. If going on day trips the property is difficult to stop outside so better to arrange pick-up from hotel just down the road. Not great for anyone who lacks mobility.

An unexpected oasis

The apartment was spacious, characterful, immaculate and had everything we needed for our stay. It is in the middle of a small banana plantation, a calm oasis to return to at the end of a busy day. The gardens and pool are a great asset.The location is excellent, midway between downtown Funchal and the Lido area. Lots of excellent restaurants within walking distance and nearby bus stops for trips into town and farther afield.A car for more distant trips is useful but make sure to book a small model, entrance and parking at the Quinta can be a little tricky.The description of Quinta Stanford was accurate in every way, communications were good {the owners were away but the staff were helpful in their absence} and our entire holiday more than exceeded our expectations.

Enjoy Lovely Gardens and Serenity in the Midst of Funchal

Casa do Feitor was our home away from home for two weeks while recently vacationing on Madeira. It always felt great to come back to after busy days spent exploring. It was so convenient to have the option to cook in or eat out. Everything needed to prepared a meal was available - even a charcoal grill. We are grateful to Buffy & Frank for going above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. My husband and I highly recommend this vacation property - let it it be YOUR home away from home!

Lovely accommodation , central yet peaceful.

One of three self catering properties located in a private banana plantation.Very peaceful at night and yet only a few hundred yards from Reids Palace.The property is very well equipped with separate lounge , bedroom (very comfortable bed) , bathroom and kitchen / diner.The kitchen has a balcony overlooking the banana trees and there are views to the bay from the bedroom and lounge. You also have shared use of a very nice swimming pool which I would imagine to be a huge bonus in the summer months.The hosts, Buffy and Frank are very friendly and accommodating and we wouldn't hesitate to return.

A safe and secure cottage in the heart of the city

We were very fortunate to have found this property as it turned out to be an oasis of tranquility and seclusion in the heart of busy Funchal. We had two weeks of peace and contentment in this beautiful cottage, that had everything and more that you could possibly want from a holiday retreat. The swimming pool that is set amidst tropical flowers was bliss as we seemed to have it to our selves for the entire two weeks. This is a lovely place to return to after days out sight seeing and with a plethora of bars and restaurants nearby to tempt your palate, we found this to be the perfect location in the center of the capital city. We got round the problem of this property being at the top of a steep slope by catching the local bus and getting off the stop past the cottage and walking down the hill. The owners of the property Frank and Buffy were perfect hosts as they are always friendly and attentive to your needs, always available but never intrusive Bob and Jennie Birch

Bananas and Blackbirds

Why Bananas and Blackbirds? Taxi driver didn’t know the Cottages, but knew the ‘bananas’ and during our weeks stay we were constantly serenaded by Blackbirds! A spacious superbly equipped cottage with everything you could wish for. Spotlessly clean and comfortable; safe and secure. Views to the harbour (our cottage was on upper floor) and set in gardens and a banana plantation with a lovely large swimming pool. All this yet very central close to Reid’s and the Cliff Bay hotels. Beautiful gardens of the Magnolia recreational park are opposite with extensive walks, a fine restaurant and snack bar. Convenient for several bus routes into the town centre or west to Câmara des Lobos fishing village. The Red and Yellow hop on/off tourist buses stop near by which are worth considering for ‘orientation’ in Funchal but most attractions can be reached by regular buses with day passes available for 1, 3 or 5 days. Bus 81 to Nuns Valley not to be missed! By car the estate is easily accessible to all main routes. By the way a tour around Madeira by car is nowadays spent mostly underground!!!! We enjoyed a wonderful stay and are planning our next trip!

Fantastisch appartement, zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw

De gastvrouw wachtte ons op bij het hek, om ons op het terrein te laten en te verwelkomen. Dat is meteen het enige minpuntje, de toegang is echt smal, lastig om met de auto (CitroënC3) vanaf de weg in te draaien. Als je eenmaal binnen de muren bent, sta je in een groene oase van rust. We kregen goede uitleg en wat tips en er stond wat lekkers klaar en water in de koelkast. Het nette appartement is heerlijk ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Veel kast- en opbergruimte. Grote pluspunt was de airco in kamer en slaapkamer. We hebben heerlijk geslapen. Leuk is het balkon met uitzicht op de druiven en bananen. Het heerlijke zwembad hadden we bijna altijd alleen tot onze beschikking. De ligging is perfect; we liepen meerdere keren naar Funchal, naar de haven of het centrum. En de andere kant op zijn ook veel restaurantjes en niet te vergeten de patisserie op loopafstand. Bij Lido kun je prima boodschappen doen. Op de laatste dag mochten we nog bij het zwembad genieten en was er een ruimte om om te kleden en de koffers te stallen. Dat was heel fijn. Gastvrouw Buffy dacht in alles mee, erg gastvrij. We kunnen deze plek zeker aanbevelen, maar geen brede auto huren ;-)

Spacious and well equipped apartment in beautiful surroundings

Casa do Feitor is a spacious flat with views across Funchal, the harbour and out to sea. Frank and Buffy make you welcome and the accommodation is well equipped and presented in very good condition, all clean and tidy. Nearby are many excellent restaurants and cafes, R do Casa Branca having several. Also its just a short walk to small general stores and 10 minutes to a good supermarket. Into town is an easy 20 to 25 minutes walk. We really enjoyed a week stay and when leaving or returning to the casa, the stroll down the cobbled path surrounded by banana plants and under a pergola covered in vines is charming.

Wonderful

We're almost reluctant to review this property but that would be selfish of us. Having found it, we don't want to share it. We can honestly say that we have never stayed anywhere like it. It's like a different world - peace and quiet reign. The cottage was beautifully furnished and had everything you could need - a fully fitted kitchen, balcony, TV , dvd player, books, Wi-Fi. There is even a washing machine and a tumble dryer available. Every home comfort is provided. Outside is spectacular with vines and banana trees. The large pool is beautiful with loungers and umbrellas. We spent every morning at the pool and sometimes returned for a swim later in the day. Buffy and Frank made us very welcome, as did the dogs who came to see us most days. The property is well within walking distance of the centre of Funchal and all amenities including supermarkets and restaurants. We've fallen in love with Casa do Feitor and hope to have many more holidays there. We really can't praise this beautiful property highly enough.

Perfect in every way

This was our first visit to Madeira and we found Casa Do Feitor perfect in every way. We felt really at home and instantly relaxed. Some days we were reluctant to open the gates and venture into the outside world. The owners, Buffy and Frank, are very special people

A great place to stay and relax

Our stay here was part of our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebrations. The accommodation here did not let us down. The comfortable apartment is fully equipped for self catering although there are many places to eat out close by. We had a car and although the entrance is a bit tight after a while presents no problem. Owners Frank and Buffy made us most welcome. We would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect hideaway

Based on previous reviews these cottages had a lot to live up to! We stayed for, sadly, only one week in Casa das Vinhas. It certainly lived up to every one of our high expectations. Right from the start, walking up through the vines and bananas to our front door, we felt instantly at home. The surroundings are lovely, private, calming. The cottage itself didn't really feel like a rental property, more like someones little home we had borrowed. A lovely atmosphere. Everything there we could want. We swam, laid by the pool, drank wine on our patio, generally chilled out.....exactly what we needed and this cottage delivered it in spades !! The sea, Funchal's shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance. We didn't have a car and didn't miss one. The owners, Frank and Buffy were away for the first few days of our stay but came to see us once they returned to ensure all was well and were we happy and did we need anything. That was such a kind personal touch which made us feel so welcome. They also came to say goodbye when we left. Its not often that we say this but we would definately return to Madeira and without doubt we would return to "our" Casa.

Lovely pool, beautiful gardens, tranquil location

The cottages were set in beautiful gardens and we loved listening to the birds singing away while lazing by the pool. The gardens were also very nice with a mixture of grape vine, banana plantations and an abundance of bright, brilliant flowers. So pretty. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the terrace every morning and a post dinner drink in the evening. I suppose it helps that we had glorious weather and not a drop of rain during our stay. I love older properties and both the cottages, the Quinta and its grounds oozed old world charm. We found the owners to be very pleasant. On hand when you needed to ask them questions but not at all intrusive so very easy to relax. The cottages were cleaned at the end of the first week and all towels and bedding were changed. The only niggle some might have is that you could hear distant traffic noise. We live in an area where there is no passing traffic so I'm used to total silence at night and am a very light sleeper. Therefore I closed the bedroom windows at night. Not a problem in May but I could imagine the cottages could be quite warm during the summer months. I'm sure most people could however leave the windows open at night and not be disturbed by the traffic noise. Perhaps at some point, air conditioning could be installed in the bedroom, even if you have to pay extra for it locally? The cottages provided everything we needed for a two week break. The kitchen was small but we only eat snacks and breakfasts in the cottage anyway so suited us fine. Lots of wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the cottages, which was an unexpected bonus. Excellent value for money and I would return again.

Loja da Lenha

Thank you to Buffy and Frank for a very comfortable stay in the delightful Loja da Lenha. The accomodation is light and spacious. It is tastefully decorated and well equiped. The Quinta is well located near the centre of Funchal giving good access to all parts of the island yet provides a haven from the busy surroundings. Buffy and Frank are excellent hosts. Both welcoming and attentive but not intrusive.

Perfect Retreat, really peaceful & relaxing

stayed here in September 2013. These cottages are a perfect retreat, really peaceful and relaxing we had the lovely large pool to ourselves some of the time. But even when all 3 cottages were occupied there were only 6 of us sharing the pool and there were plenty of sun umbrellas and sun beds. Each cottage also has a patio area or a balcony. The patio areas have a table and 4 chairs and sun umbrellas which made it ideal for eating outside in an idyllic location surrounded by banana trees and vines. All 3 cottages are decorated and furnished to a high standard. Casa Das Vinhas where we stayed was very well equipped, with ample storage. Frank and Buffy are perfect hosts who helped make our stay very pleasant, we were made to feel very welcome from the start. They were both very helpful answering any questions and dealing with a couple of minor issues we had. The cottages are close to the centre of Funchal, where there is a good selection of restaurants and bars. Madeira is a beautiful but hilly island, but if you don’t want to walk there are plenty of buses and taxis. The views from the cable car are excellent.

Fantastic place to stay!

Accommodation is clean, well finished and spacious, great for a relaxing break away. Perfect location, central and no need for a car. Swimming pool is a real bonus, brilliant for lazy days around the pool. A choice of restaurants within a 5/10min walk. A lovely week away.

Großartig !

Die Quinta und die Cottages lassen absolut keine Wünsche offen. Wir waren eine Woche in der Casa das Vinhas und eine Woche in der Casa do Feitor. Beide waren sehr gut ausgestattet, gemütlich gestaltet und hatten ausreichend Platz (wenngleich Casa do Feitor etwas größer ist). Die Lage in Funchal ist optimal, zentral und dennoch ruhig. Buffy und Frank sind überaus gastfreundlich, hilfsbereit und in vorbildlicher Weise um das Wohl ihrer Gäste bemüht. Es fehlte auch bei schlechtem Wetter, was wir zum Teil hatten, an rein gar nichts ( selbst ein kleiner Heizlüfter war vorhanden ) und man konnte auch einen Schlechtwettertag auf dem schönen Anwesen in den gemütlichen Cottages sehr gut überstehen. Madeira ist zauberhaft, die Pflanzenwelt ist eine einzige Pracht. Es gibt zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Wanderungen mit atemberaubenden Ausblicken und bilderbuchmäßigen Eindrücken. Wir kommen gerne wieder, sobald sich eine Möglichkeit bietet.

Casa Do Feitor- The Factor's House

What can we say that hasn't already been said before, what a wonderful apartment, facilities and location! We booked after a recommendation from a friend who stayed in one of the other apartments this July. I think that Casa Do Feitor is the best of the three options, as being upstairs you get the fantastic views with light and airy rooms, not to mention the private covered veranhah. The apartment was spotless and fitted with everything you could really wish for. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. One of the many helpful guides in the apartment was a comment book written by previous guests with plenty of recommendations on places to eat and visit. We found it very helpful. We hired a car for a week but it wasn't really necessary, you can walk into Funchal easily, there is so much to see and do. If you are thinking of visiting Madeira then any of these apartments are a must! Thankyou for a fabulous stay on a very beautiful Island, if we get the chance to come again WE WILL!

Regular visitors to Madeira

We spent our second week in Madeira at the Casa de Feitor. Our first floor accommodation was excellent. The accommodation is set within a working banana and grape producing property and has been tastefully converted from old working buildings. The surroundings are peaceful and it is hard to believe the centre of Funchal is only a short walk away (the hill to the property is not for the faint hearted) The accommodation is smart and comfortable kitchen well equiped with modern cooker, micro and dishwasher. Bed comfortable and everything clean.We almost had the pool and garden to ourselves as the other tennants were out and about most of the week. But had the other two properties been fully occupied there was plenty of room for everyone to be quiet and private.The owners were away during our visit, but one small problem was quickly sorted out by the agents. We have no negative comments and really enjoyed our stay. Suggestions: We choose self catering accommodation because my husband likes to cook local dishes when on holiday. For us a couple of extra oven proof dishes would have been useful. We were also anxious about hot dishes on the glass table. We were lucky in that the weather was really warm and pleasant but Madeira can be cool and rainy at times so a TV can be handy. Unfortunately I have poor eyesight and found the small screen of the TV almost impossible to watch unless I sat directly in front of it.

A Dream Place to Stay.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing place to stay in perfect surroundings or a base for a more active holiday you could not find anywhere better than these beautifully appointed apartments. You will be in one of only three converted properties in the private grounds of a lovely old villa with vines and a small banana plantation surrounding you.The spotlessly clean swimming pool can never be crowded and you can relax and enjoy the beautiful garden around you. Funchal centre is just 15 minutes walk away or take the local bus which runs past the grounds. We particularly enjoyed the dolphin watching cataraman, a mini bus tour (they will pick you up from outside the grounds) and visiting several of the many gardens. The restaurants we ate at were all very good and of course the fish and fruit market is a great place to visit. Try the Tuna Steaks. We cannot emphasise enough how lovely the accomodation is and how friendly and helpful we found our hosts, Frank and Buffy.What a marvellous holiday!
